Hello y'all, I'm at my wits end. I got the GoG version of BG3 (cause DRM free yay!), but for the love of me I cannot get it to work. I've done so much googling and so many workarounds, I've installed .net, I've skipped the launcher, I've used the alternate .exe, I've tried proton experimental and 8 and hotfix, but nothing has got me even as far as a loading screen. I just get a flash of black then crashed back to desktop. If anyone has any insights or help I would greatly appreciate it, I'm using Heroic right now but honestly I'll do whatever to get this thing working.

Have you tried adding it to Steam as a non-steam game and then forcing compatibility for it to proton experimental in Steam?

Yep, with both exes, no dice. Currently waiting for my lutris download as a next step to try

Are you launching steam with STEAM_RUNTIME=1?

Sorry if this doesn’t make sense within the context of the steam deck, I don’t actually have one I just stumbled upon this post from all.

Let us know how you get on! I was planning on buying on GOG myself.

I gave up, so many workarounds and reinstalls and everything for nothing. I've refunded and purchased through steam. Luckily someone else in this thread gave me a tip even the steam version is DRM-free, so that's nice
